The Reason: The Los Angeles Kings have gone over the total in just nine of their 40 games this season, and they have gone under the total in 14 of their last 18 overall, and nine of their last 12 at home (with a few of those other games resulting in a push).

The Reason: The Los Angeles Kings have gone over the total in just nine of their 40 games this season, and they have gone under the total in 14 of their last 18 overall, and nine of their last 12 at home (with a few of those other games resulting in a push). They are averaging only 2.18 goals for, while giving up only 2.30 this season. As for the Coyotes, they aren’t too far off, scoring only 2.58 goals per game, while giving up only 2.68. The Kings are always a good bet to go under the total, and the fact that they are playing a low scoring team in the Coyotes only gives us more reason to take the under tonight.

The Reason: The Sens have won six of their last eight overall, five of their last six at home, and they are 8-4 in their last 12 against the Lightning. The Sens have also beaten Tampa in six of their last seven meetings in Ottawa. The Lightning are a disappointing 6-13-3 on the road this season and they have dropped four of their last five away from home. Look for the Sens to score plenty of goals against the Lightning’s poor defense as they come away with the win tonight.
